Both of my sliding knobs are broken.
They are still sitting in the slots,
but come off, with some pieces still inside.
I bought two new replacement knobs.
Do you have to remove the entire center console to replace them?
I was going to try and remove the broken pieces with a tweezer, try to keep the copper colored clip in place and try and put the new knobs in.
does the face plate of the heater/A/C control come off without removing the whole center console?

I just finished pulling my Control head out. The ac vent pulls right out with pliers, gently, then the black border piece comes off carefully, then 4 screws hold the whole unit in and two for the ac button panel.
The hardest part is getting the wire clips off and back on.
